While Netflix, the MLB.com and Amazon have sophisticated payment systems in place on the Roku platform, smaller publishers have few options to generate subscription or pay-per-view payments. Beginning early next year, Roku will introduce a pay-per-view system for any publisher using the Roku platform, says company spokesperson Brian Jaquet in this interview with Beet.TV The Roku is a one-pound box which connect wired or wireless Internet to a television set to delivery a variety of programming. It is priced under $100. While known mainly for the popularity for streaming Netflix, the platform is open and many smaller publishers are using the system to publish recorded and live programming.
